ive just bought a shamo pullet today along with 3 other game pullets and they just all want to fight the young shamo pullet and she won’t back down I understand the breeding of the chickens but never seen a pullet get such a beating and want more. I’ve left her in the run with them but I’ve put her in a cage just need some more ideas or some information if possible thank you for reading guys

Game birds fight more than any other breeds. Adding strange birds straight together is always a bad idea, and is a horrible one with game breeds. You need to separate them by a fence for a while until they become more familiar through a fence than see how it goes mingling them. It's possible they will never get along. Best to raise chicks together to avoid problems.
 
It's always nice to see a chicken with spirit!
Unfortunately, most of my "problem" chickens that were aggressively pecked at and pestered with unusual antagonism remained as outsiders in the flock until I had to cull them. Unless she gets respect and ends up near the top of the pecking order, or else learns to respect the others and humble down some, she's always going to have a tough time. Nothing you could do but separate them.
 
She's a cute little thing! Are they ganging up together to fight her or is it first come first served? Sounds like they're all new game hens right? Everybody bought at the same time? If that's whats going on that little pullet will either be top hen or the others will beat the crap out of her maybe even kill her. You're attempting something I've never done which is keep game hens in a run so I'm not too sure how to advise you .:hmm
